Conference Paper

At the end of each marking period, you will write a personal review of your writing goals. After perusing your portfolio and looking over the comments you wrote to yourself, you should have enough material to develop a purposeful and honest one page paper about your own writing. This paper will be the focus of our second marking period conference. Also, this paper will serve as your own agenda for improving your writing.
